Thank you so much for this blog. As an American, it's so easy to be jaded into thinking that we're on a highway to hell, and there's no way to help people in need on an individual basis.

Great idea too. It would be amazing if the massive number of people looking for "reality tourism" actually helped these people. That would be a huge break through in so many ways.

Actually I'm not sure who pointed me in your direction, but someone did. I'm currently studying for my MS in Travel & Tourism at NYU and culturally sustainable tourism comes up as much as anything else. I think what's awful is the idea of human's being used as a type of zoo. It's personified by the quote above re: puppets. Anyway, I look forward to reading more of your writings.

I had a friend recently return from orphanage volunteering in Kenya.. She said that micro-finance has trickled into the area she was in and that it's slowly changing the place. Fantastic idea mate.
